Synopsis

Joe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful audition at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.

Would Soul be a good pick for a mixed group? Trying to find something that gives everyone a way into the conversation.

Cian, a film-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

Soul is one I am weighing up. Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.

Eimear, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

For anyone considering Soul: This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.
